President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine offered the russians a ceasefire for Easter, and in response received another massive UAV attack. According to him, the aggressor country, russia, used 339 drones against Ukraine during the night; about 200 of them were Shaheds. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
Thus, Zelenskyy noted that currently in Lutsk the fire is being extinguished after the night strike of the russian Shaheds. There were hits on purely civilian objects: the occupiers destroyed food warehouses and the Nova Poshta terminal. A residential building was also damaged. Currently, all necessary forces of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and municipal services are involved to eliminate the consequences of this attack.
"The Dnipropetrovsk Region, Zhytomyr Region, Poltava Region, Odesa Region, Kharkiv Region and Khmelnytskyi Region were also under russian attacks last night. And there are still Shaheds in our sky. In total, russia used 339 drones against Ukraine last night, and about 200 of them were Shaheds," he added.

The President said that today will be a rather busy diplomatic day, many contacts have already been planned. He emphasized that the night attack is actually russia's response to diplomatic efforts.
"We proposed a ceasefire for Easter; in response, we get Shaheds. We also proposed a ceasefire specifically regarding energy facilities - the russians ignore this and are again trying to target our substations and transformers. Ukraine is working with partners to have more joint capabilities to protect life, while russia continues to drag out the war in Europe and openly invests its intelligence for the Iranian regime in fomenting war in the Middle East and the Gulf," Zelenskyy added.
He emphasized that it is russia that is the global threat, and it is its contempt for life and peace that is preventing any diplomacy.
"I am grateful to everyone who supports our defense of life, and to everyone who ensures the implementation of sanctions against russia for the war. The higher our percentage of shooting down russian drones and missiles and the higher the percentage of restricting russian oil, russian trade, russian production, the faster security will be guaranteed and peace will be established," Zelenskyy summed up.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, russian troops struck Lutsk in the Volyn Region on the morning of April 1 - one of the industrial enterprises came under fire, local authorities reported.
